Binomial Distribution

Distribution generators for the Binomial Equation:

dbinom(k, n, q) Returns the probability density for value k.

pbinom(k, n, q) Returns the cumulative probability distribution for value k.

qbinom(p, n, q) Returns the inverse cumulative probability distribution for probability p.

rbinom(m, n, q) Returns a vector of m random numbers having the binomial distribution.

Arguments:

• k and n are integers, 0 ≤ k ≤ n. To allow integration and other operations over k, values outside of the stated range are allowed, but they produce a 0 result.
• q is a real number between 0 and 1.
• p is a real number between 0 and 1.
• m is an integer greater than 0.

Notes:

• For definitions of the functions, and information on generating random numbers, see the Density and Distribution definitions.
